NetVault Backup stores the system configuration settings in “.cfg” files, which reside in the config directory under the NetVault Backup installation directory. The settings in these files should only be modified under the guidance of Quest Technical Support personnel. Improper changes to these files can cause errors and other unexpected behavior. Before modifying a configuration file, make sure that you create a backup copy of the file.
